Fallout Re: MBT's

We decided to use the K2PL for our purposes to distinguish them from South Koreas K2 (Minor fixes to come for that and about two more due to "New" ALTAY.) and the other K2 export tanks to other countries which are in the "pipeline" due the games 2030 extension. The same process is there for the other export versions of tanks that were submitted to include also the M1A2P and M1A2T.

I did this and discussed it with Don along the lines and again due to the game's extension, that if we (U.S by way of example.) upgrade our M1A2 that we have the clear distinction of that being applied just to the USA version. Because I envisioned the posts "flying" about why isn't ours getting updated also as well?

If a foreign user updates their version (ABRAMS/K2/LEOPARD/CHALLENGER etc.) we can more easily focus on that country's version as the information "points" us to it without overly stressing about whose version gets what.

I can almost guarantee this will happen as I've modeled the LEOPARD 2A8 but as posted in this thread with refs., there's not much difference between it and the LEOPARD A27V with the biggest difference is it will have TROPHY.

I made some small adjustments in the LEOPARD 2A8 simply to again establish a SMALL degree of separation with the LEOPARD 2A7V.

Why the above? Mostly to establish platforms to further develop the Export version of the LEOPARD 2A8. This will get me what I need for it.

I'm closely tracking the orders for the export version again because of the games extension I see maybe 2 countries getting them near end of the game. Now to tie up this whole issue and process I already know of 5/6 countries are wanting this tank probably as it stands now HUNGRY might be the first deviation of the "generic" planned Export version.

But a lot can happen well before they get them (2028/2029.) and further at least one country has recently backed off from that purchase as they wish to buy more tanks along the lines of the export LEOPARD, we already have based on the LEOPARD 2A7 in the game. When you're a small country more is better!

What I really wanted to post is that of one of the 2nd or 3rd tanks I put in here when I started. It backs what I posted back then but it also provided some information I didn't know about it at the time. Kind've sounds like the "TRAP" we find ourselves in once in a while ourselves with equipment I.E. Newer information arises from "CREDIBLE" references. Anyway...

To the EW test I'm honestly afraid I'll "Blow Something Up" and that will make me suffer the following...
"A man has to know his limitations" if it's not CyberSec I generally avoid it.

If anyone else is feeling "FROGGY" feel free.

Regards,
Pat
